    I’m reading this as “VW is putting buttons back in cars because they reckon the EU is going to slap them for making dangerous cars”

      That would be funny, but it’s more likely because they are about to go under if they don’t change something up. Doing one of the most requested this seems like a good start in that direction.

        Where with “going under” you presumably mean “doesn’t overtake Toyota and stays the 2nd biggest car company world-wide”. That’s by number of cars, by revenue VW is in first place.

        I’d say it’s more a case of “yeah we should’ve guessed that how Tesla does things is just hype”.
